Whoa..these are the big dogs..

I am in Atlantis in the Bahamas right now. The yachts in the marina are just amazing. Big Big Money. Some of these ships have crews, deck hands, maids, cooks, and waiters.

I am proud of having the ability to own a timeshare here. LOL!!

Its a drool fest every time I get near the marina. Boats I would consider to be owned by big dogs in Florida are dingy's here. I will have to download a pic of one ships running boat. Its not a dingy but its packing three 245 outboards. Its just sick....



Wandered around a bit and not one P-car sighting at all. Gas is $4.30 a gallon, milk $6, cereal $7 for a small box, Grapefruit juice $7 for 1/2 a gallon, But who cares, Rum is $5 a liter and Vodka is $8 a liter.

Our condos are in the background in this pic. We would cut through the marina to get to the Atlintis beach and water slides.


Some more pics with Atlantis as the backdrop.

Just wait 'til you try to buy tropical fruit - costs more there than in the US and they grow it there!

That used to be "hog island", funny how it's changed.

BTW - Different lot of cars here. Lots of very small euro cars. Lots of right hand drive cars and names I have never heard of.

I liked this one a lot its the "exciting version". Not sure whats so exciting.

Also, EVERY car has dents in it. Most from apparent collisions, which is of no suprise if you have ever been in a cab here. The lines on the road, the traffic lights, the stop signs, all suggestions and not law.

Considering the amount of money this place brings in and Kirsners dedication to giving back to the local schools I think the changes are good. Nassau is still a stinking arpit even with all the influence Atlantis is having on the area.

Kirsner has opened up culinary schools and management level training and makes it a priority to hire and buy locally as much as possible.
